The two intersections are right where Highway 330 becomes Highway 65, and the video shows a few examples of the trouble so many Iowa drivers have run into at the intersection.

Between the four lanes, stop signs in the middle and drivers headed in all directions, you can see why so many drivers have made costly mistakes.

“If they're going 65-70 mph, your margin of error is very little. So you make a driver error out there, you end up being in a big crash,” said DOT District 1 Engineer Scott Dockstader.

Nine people have died between 2003 and 2013 after crashing at this intersection.

Out of 111 total crashes in that time period, that means one out of every 12 were deadly. Statewide, one out of every 139 crashes is deadly.

“It's just an unacceptable number to have that many fatal accidents since 2003 in this mile stretch of roadway, two intersections,” Dockstader said.

The Iowa DOT is trying to fix the problem with a new diamond interchange. It's been hotly debated because it'll run right through existing organic farmland and displace a well-known farmer. But after years of petitions and pleas, the DOT will move forward with the plan.

“I think if folks see the video that they'll tend to agree that these crashes are going to continue and hope that they'll support the concept that the interchange will be the best alternative to fix it,” Dockstader said.

The project is still a ways off. At the earliest, construction would begin in the spring of 2017 and then take two years to complete.
